1,229
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 720,472,229 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 720,472,229 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,774,936
2 | 272, 774, 936 |
2 | 136, 387, 468 |
2 | 68, 387, 234 |
3 | 34, 387, 117 |
3 | 34, 129, 39 |
34, 43, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 34 x 43 x 13 = 1368432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1368432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 720/272,472/774,229/936 is 1/1368432
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 272,774,936 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,774,936) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 72
GCF(272,774,936) x common factors =2 x 72 = 144
LCM(272,774,936) = ( 272 × 774 × 936 ) / 144
LCM(272,774,936) = 197054208 / 144
LCM(272,774,936) = 1368432
